Default 6.0 iron block?

Well time for a rebuild. My questions are: how much nitrous can the 6.o iron block take bored to 4.030? Might just use the same cam ( trex cam) no stroker. crank will be kept stock. Might consider hovering compression around 12.0 to 1. Gonna use stock ported heads. Any rocommendations

30 thou is *** all. a cast iron block wont be your weakest link... the nitrous will blow your gaskets or your pistons first. personally 30thou is about what id take a motor out too, maybe 40thou. seen other cast iron engines above 40thou have heating issues, 30 will be fine mate

It will take more than any sane person will throw at it.
Properly built 400 shots
